John Gwin, one of my 16 ggg-grandfathers, was born in 1792 in western North Carolina, what would become the state of Tennessee four years later. His parents, Isom Gwin and Mary Canterbury Gwin, had married in Montgomery Co., VA, several years earlier, and had moved to this western North Carolina site to purchase land. Isom eventually staked claim to a 249-acre tract in Sevier Co., which was finally surveyed in 1807. John grew up on this plantation maintained by slaves held by his father.
John and Jane had at least these children:
01 Mary Gwin m1. Drury Roark, m2. Abel Turner
02 Thomas Gwin
03 Isom Gwin m. Mary Burdine Wilson
04 William Gwin m. RoseAnn Carlisle Jones Wilson
05 Sarah Gwin m. Louis Basset
06 Ann Gwin m. Joseph Lavalette Basset
07 Martha J. Gwin m. Jesse Comelander
08 Chesley R. Gwin m1. Frances E. "Fannie" Bell, m2. Mrs. Blevins
09 Louisa A. Gwin m. Wm. J. McKnight
